A rare and little-known session by Argentinian saxophonist Gato Barbieri playing standards as opposed to his widely known work within Latin and free form jazz

Among the highlights of this incredible album interpretations of Miles Davis's So What and All Blues, Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage, and Billy Strayhorn's Lush Life.

"This release flls a gap in Barbieri's discography. The artist we met in his frst work as a single leader, 'In Search Of The Mystery' (1967), moved in the realm of pure improvisation, going in the direction of the spirituality of Albert Ayler and Pharoah Sanders. In the Roman sessions, however, Barbieri recovers his original matrix deeply rooted in the language of John Coltrane and, in part, in that of the early Ornette Coleman. To some extent it is a completely new Barbieri that emerges from these recordings." - Marco Giorgi (from liner notes)
